First responders are much appreciated

To the editor:

This past summer I needed to call EMS on several occasions. A family member was struggling with his mobility.

I cannot say enough about the EMS responders who assisted us. They were incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and fast. The same goes for the police who accompanied them. They are simply amazing people.

I suppose it is a truism that we never think about these professionals until we need them, but I am so glad they are here. They are really, really good at what they do.
